WPI alumnae and women associated with WPI know the value of the hands-on, project-based education delivered at WPI. You’ve seen first-hand how a WPI education can make a difference in the lives of individuals and communities, how it has impacted the lives of your friends, family members and co-workers, or how it has impacted you, specifically. With the Women’s Impact Network (WIN), our goal is to build a network of women who lead and learn together, demonstrate leadership through support of critical activities at WPI and create a positive impact for the WPI community.

The Women’s Impact Network is a diverse group of visionary women who share a passion for education, leadership, and philanthropy. Through WIN, members will be provided the occasion to become more familiar with unique opportunities and challenges at WPI, and to assume an important role to help advance WPI’s future.

The WPI Women’s Impact Network will empower women to come together as a collective, significant force to support WPI’s impact around the globe. A gift to WPI is an investment in the future, and the Women’s Impact Network provides unique ways for women to share imagination, inspire innovation, and lead with purpose.

By donating to a “pooled fund” women multiply their philanthropic power. Each Network member can share how she’d like her gift to make an impact at WPI. Then, the leadership team will vote on the priorities from the group, to best direct each year’s funds.

You’ll be invited to the annual Women’s Impact Network Event with President Leshin. This is an excellent opportunity to get to know other leading WPI alumnae and women friends of WPI.

You will vote on a slate of projects to be funded by the Women’s Impact Network.
